Rap collective Odd Future have responded to clams that they beat up a 17-year-old fan at a gig in San Antonio.

According to TMZ, Chassan Rasagi filed a police report after he was allegedly attacked by the group after jumping onstage at the gig on December 8, where he was thrown back and forth between the stage and the crowd. You can watch a video of the incident below.

Odd Future have since responded to the allegations, with representatives for the group telling Pitchfork that Rasagi threw the first punch. They also sent over a series of screen-grabs of tweets that they claim are from Rasagi’s Twitter account in which he seemingly acknowledges that he threw the first punch and mentioned the paycheck he would get from suing the group: “I’ll remember to send you a picture of the check when I get it,” the tweet from the screen-grab says. The Tweets do not appear on the account’s timeline.
